About:
Prips is a command-line utility designed to efficiently generate and print all IP addresses within a specified range. It supports both IPv4 and IPv6, handling CIDR notation, start/end IP pairs, and network masks. Its primary value is providing a fast and simple way to enumerate IP addresses for network scanning, testing, and scripting tasks.
Key Features:
  • Supports both IPv4 and IPv6 address ranges
  • Handles CIDR, start/end IPs, and netmask formats
  • Outputs addresses in various formats (plain, CSV, etc.)
  • Designed for high performance and minimal resource usage
Use Cases:
  • Generating target lists for network scanners like Nmap
  • Automating network configuration and testing scripts
  • Calculating and verifying IP address ranges for subnetting
Alternatives:
  • nmap – Prips is a lightweight address generator, whereas nmap is a comprehensive network exploration and security auditing tool.
  • seq – Prips is IP-aware and handles network semantics, while seq is a general-purpose numeric sequence generator.
